The "Digital Citizen" app is live, the President of the Republic wrote in a post on X on Thursday morning, noting that a new era of digital services for citizens and businesses is being launched today.

"Through the application, every citizen can now issue and store official documents in digital format, for any legal use in the country," he says, noting that citizens have the possibility in the first phase to obtain digital identity cards, driving licences and vehicle registration certificates.

"This is an important step towards the Digital Transformation of our country, which aims to create a modern, friendly and efficient state. The simplification of procedures, saving time and improving services is at the heart of our efforts, with the ultimate goal of upgrading the quality of life of all Cypriots and improving their daily lives. The new era is here: easy, simple, digital," he notes.

In addition, the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy says in a statement that the application "Digital Citizen" is available from today in Google Play and App Store.

As noted, "Digital Citizen" is the official mobile application of the Cyprus Government, through which the citizen will be able to create and maintain in digital format official documents, fully equivalent to paper documents, for any legal use within the Republic of Cyprus. It is noted that digital documents created through the application do not constitute international travel documents.
